What's New

 

 

 

Get well wishes to Dean Achen

and Lee Clark

 

 

This morning, (Monday) is the coldest it's been since 1996.

And our dedicated Fire Dept. was out in it most of the night,

trying to put out the fire at the Syracuse Methodist Church.

Saying "thank you" just doesn't seem to be enough in this

kind of weather, does it?

The children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren of

Cecil & Harriette Powers, formerly of Palmyra,

gathered for Christmas at the home of John & Gera Stilwell.

Guests were from Palmyra, Lincoln, Omaha,

and Ft. Collins, CO.

 

 

From Nina Rohlfs: "Books & Brew Club! A new Unadilla area

book club for any who love reading and chatting about it is about

to begin. We will meet at my house on the second Wednesday

of each month, 9 a.m. - 11:30 a.m., with coffee and snacks, starting

February 12, and you are wilcdome to attend. Our Unadilla librarian,

Peggy Leefers, has some good ideas for reads, and ways to read

them free or at low cost, to help us proceed. Let's have attendees

take turns suggesting books of both fiction and non-fiction for the

group. To get off the ground, I've chosen the first book, one of

historical fiction. The title is "The Kitchen House" by Kathleen Grissom.

It's available in paperback at Barnes & Noble, both new and used at

Amazon.com, and more. So if you'd like to participate, get your

book, read it by February 12, and come on over!"

 

 

Some "fun facts": January is National Oatmeal month;

January 8th is National Bubble Bath Day;

and January 23rd is National Pie Day.

Make of it what you will!
